According to the source material, Pokemon only became Delta Species because the electromagnetic waves of the Holon Research Facility caused rare mutations to emerge in them.
So why is an apparently ancient structure completely unrelated to the research facility capable of calling them over? Could there be some sort of ancient conspiracy at work here?
You’ll never know! Honestly, they should have at least provided a short story about Holon.

Wasn’t the research facility’s mutation only the one related to making Pokémon half-Metal? I’m pretty sure it’s acknowledged that Delta Pokémon existed before then. Hell, if I remember correctly, the last Delta Species sets were about a remote island where Pokémon were naturally Delta due to having mutated way back then.

Yaeh, I think you’re correct. I hadn’t read up enough on it at the time.
Honestly I’m just interested in the lore they apparently developed for this, but never actually completed. They should have made a manga or a book or something, like MTG routinely does

Yeah, I think that Pokémon who were normally Delta anyway got forced into being Steel Type instead of their natural (Delta) Type, at least until the experiments stopped. Delta Pokémon are probably easier to manipulate the Types for.

I just noticed that the logo for this set is this card, but from a bird’s-eye view!
